Summary

An ideal companion for students of world history, Late Medieval World covers world history from about 1000 to 1500, and era that witnessed a rapid increase in both the frequency and reach of interaction between Afro-Eurasian civilizations. China as well as Europe experienced remarkable economic growth and technical and artistic innovation during this era, which paved the way for the rise of maritime powers in later periods. The volume explores the expansion of Christian, Islamic, and Confucian civilizations; the formation of new states in the interior of Africa; the rise of the Mongol Empire; and the Aztec and Inca empires in the Americas. Beginning in the 14th century, the Black Death led to a sharp decline of the Eurasian population. Yet by the end of this time period Portugal had begun its age of exploration, and new states, including the Ottoman Empire in Anatolia and the Ming dynasty in China, had reestablished political stability over a wide area.
